Bosch Appliances 125B LPL, 125B NGL operating instructions To check the draft

Code if vent will have elbows or share venting with another appliance.

The vent connector should have as much vertical rise as possible (minimum 12”) before any horizontal run. Optional powervent available in order to sidewall vent. Contact your local dealer. The appliance must be located as close as practicable to a chimney or vent. The vent pipe sections must be secured to each other with sheet metal screws. Keep in mind the minimum clearance from the top of your heater. Remember also that single wall vent pipe connectors require a 6 inch clearance from combustibles. National Fuel Gas Code specifies double wall — Type “B”

—vent pipe be used in cold climates and for gas vents running through attics. We consider double wall vent pipe preferable in all circumstances. Any vent section greater than 45 degrees from vertical is considered horizontal. Horizontal sections of vent connectors must slope upwards at least 1/4 inch for every foot of its horizontal length. Keep the horizontal section short and avoid too many elbows. Optional power vent available in order to sidewall vent. Contact your local dealer.

To check the draft:

Close all doors and windows to the outside.

Turn on all appliances that force air out of the building. These include all exhaust/ventilation fans, furnaces, clothes dryers, wood burning stoves, etc.

Open all doors between the AquaStar and these other ap- pliances.

Run the unit for at least 10 minutes. Then hold an ordinary mirror at the side above the front shell. Any flue gases backdrafting will cause the mirror to fog. This is a serious health hazard and must be corrected. Poor venting can result in soot building up inside the heater, overheating of the heater and freezing of the heat exchanger in a freezing environment.

The mirror will remain clear with a properly functioning draft.

WARNING

Note: The burners of an instantaneous “on demand” water heater such as the AquaStar are only on at the time that hot water is actually being used, the vent pipe is therefore cold except for the short durations when hot water is being used, it is therefore very important that the venting and air supply be adequate to provide a good positive draft as soon as the burners turn on. See venting guide on back page.

The AquaStar 125BL instantaneous water heaters have built- in draft diverters and are designed for indoor installation only. The draft diverter outlet must be connected to a clear, unobstructed vent of the same size, or larger.

In Canada, CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Code for detailed requirements

In U.S.A., ANSI Z223.1 - NFPA 54, national Fuel Gas Code for detailed requirements.

The flue connection for the AquaStar 125BL is 5 inches. However, in CANADA, for installations at high altitude (2000- 4500 feet above sea level) a six inch flue is required. A 5" by 6" flue adaptor must be affixed to the flue collar of the AquaStar with at least two screws. See figure 3.

Installations

WARNING: Failure TO INCREASE THE VENT SIZE TO SIX INCHES AND/or assure that the manifold pressure is set to proper value listed for applications at high altitudes will cause unsafe venting, asphyxiation, and will void CSA Certification.

GAS CONNECTIONS and Gas Regulator

Before connecting the gas supply, check the rating plate on the right side of the front cover to be sure that the heater is rated for the same gas to which it will be connected.

In the United States: The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

In Canada: The Installation should conform with CGA B149 INSTALLATION CODES and /or local installation codes.

NOTE: The Aquastar 125 BL is supplied with a gas pressure regulator that must be installed on the heater before attaching the gas supply line. See figure 4. Failure to install the gas regulator as shown in figure 4 will be a violation of CSA certification of the unit. The regulator supplied with the heater is preset for the gas shown on the rating plate to the correct pressure. It is an appliance level regulator designed for (low inlet) pressure (less than 1/2 Psig or 15” W.C.) DO NOT connect to an unregulated or high pressure propane line or to a high pressure commercial natural gas line.

The pressure regulator provided with the heater is adjusted to deliver the proper gas pressure (as indicated on the rating plate and in the manual for altitude up to 2000 feet (660 meters) above sea level. On appliances being installed above 2000 ft (660 meters) elevation, the inlet gas pressure should be set at installation to the value shown below.
